    Hiking

    The Kaymoor Trail is a fairly moderate walk to the Kaymoor Mine Site high above the New River Gorge. It links to the Kaymoor Miners Trail descending in stairs to the coal mine processing area.
    Unfortunately, there are no views down to the New River.

    Hiking

    Kaymoor was one of the largest coal mines in the New River Gorge. It was operational between 1899 and 1962.
